Xbox Live Announces Its Summer Plans

None

In what has become an annual tradition, Microsoft’s Major Nelson has announced the 2011 Summer of Arcade, dating and pricing the titles that are to be part of the month-long promotion. The list follows below:

July 20 – Bastion
July 27 – From Dust
August 3 – Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet
August 10 – Fruit Ninja Kinect
August 17 – Toy Soldiers: Cold War


Each of the above games will cost 1200 MSP ($15) with the exception of Fruit Ninja Kinect, which will launch at the lower price of 800 MSP ($10). Furthermore, those who buy every title in the Summer of Arcade will receive a free copy of Crimson Alliance when it releases on September 7. For those who don’t, the action-RPG will set them back 1200 MSP.

Of particular interest is the presence of Fruit Ninja Kinect on this list, pushing the 360’s hands-free Kinect controller in the downloadable sphere. How well will a downloadable title that requires that initial $150 investment perform? Only time will tell.
